亚历山大・索尔仁尼琴语录

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie.

每个有勇气的人都能采取的简单的行动就是不参与谎言。

——亚历山大・索尔仁尼琴

It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.

这是一条普遍的规律：不宽容是缺乏教育的首要标志。一个教育不良的人会表现出傲慢的不耐烦，而真正深入的教育培养出谦卑。

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

暴力只能通过谎言掩盖，而谎言只能通过暴力来维持。

The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.

肚子是个忘恩负义的家伙，它从不记得过去的好处，到了明天它总是索取更多。

总盯着过去，你会瞎掉一只眼；然而忘掉历史，你会双目失明。

——亚历山大・索尔仁尼琴

If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”

如果是那么简单就好了！在某个地方有一些坏人，阴险地干着坏事，只须把他们同其余的人区别开来加以消灭就行了。但是，区分善恶的界限，却纵横交错在每个人的心上。 谁能消灭掉自己的一小块心呢？

It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.

人们的幸福并不取决于富有的程度，而是取决于心与心的关系和我们的生活观。这两点永远由我们自己作主，而这就是说，人们只要自己愿意，随时可得到幸福，任何人都不能妨碍他。
